In Brief
The Supreme Court resolved multiple appeals by organizing teachers claiming appointment as primary teachers in West Bengal. The core dispute was whether the Board had conducted verification of the appellants' past service as required by earlier court orders. Rather than continue the litigation, the Court transferred the verification responsibility to the Secretary of the West Bengal State Legal Services Authority with a mandate to complete verification within four months. Upon verification, the Education Secretary would decide on appointments within one month. The Court made the Authority's report final and binding, barring further challenges and preventing fresh applications.
